| SKEA's historic 1905 Japanese Language School schoolhouse in Honaunau, HI, as it looked early in the
20th Century. Many of Kona's Japanese residents came to work in the sugar and coffee industries. Farm children
attended schools like this one, often picking coffee on their family's farm both before and after school.
